Piedmont: travel guides

Piedmont is the north-easternmost region of the Italian peninsula, crossed by the Alps and on the border with France. Ideal for tourists looking for natural landscapes and anyone passionate about excursions on the mountains, or on the gentle hills of the Langhe, Piedmont also offers the opportunity to visit cities of art, such as Turin, spend a holiday on Lake Maggiore and enjoy enogastronomic tours of its great wine region.

Lake Maggiore, excursions and romantic atmosphere

In Piedmont, camping sites and holiday villages are strategically located all across the region, but they are particularly numerous around Lake Maggiore, one of the largest lakes in Italy. If in spring and autumn Lake Maggiore offers a romantic atmosphere, during the summer it turns into a popular tourist destination, thanks to its flourishing nature and the many camping sites and holiday villages equipped with all comforts, some of which even have water park on the premises. If you visit Lake Maggiore you shouldn’t miss the boat tour of the beautiful Borromean Islands, the villas, gardens and old towns overlooking the lake, such as Stresa and Verbania. The Borromean Islands include: Isola Madre, Isola Bella, Isolino di San Giovanni, Isola dei Pescatori and Scoglio della Malghera; all islands can be visited or are visible during the boat tour.

Piedmont, Alps and Langhe

Many camping sites in Piedmont are located near the Alps, in spectacular natural surroundings, and the ideal choice to relax or enjoy mountain excursions during the summer and skiing and walking with ski shoes during the snowy winters. Piedmont also has a great enogastronomic tradition, particularly in the Langhe area, between the provinces of Cuneo and Asti: a region of great Italian wines and spumanti, but also renowned for hazelnuts and its excellent cuisine. A holiday across the Langhe hills, travelling by car, camper or motorbike, guarantees to satisfy all senses.
